## History

[edit]

### 1914–1920

[edit]

The original Elmwood riding existed from 1914 to 1920, in what was then a suburban community in the north of Winnipeg. It was created out of Springfield, Kildonan-St. Andrews, Winnipeg North and St. Boniface. It was abolished into Springfield, Winnipeg and St. Boniface.

Its provincial Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) were:

14th | 1914–1915  |  | Harry Mewhirter | Conservative
15th | 1915–1920  |  | Thomas Hamilton | Liberal

### 1958–present

[edit]

The modern Elmwood riding was created by redistribution in 1957, and has formally existed since the provincial election of 1958. It is located in the northeastern section of the amalgamated City of Winnipeg; the Red River forms its western and part of its southern boundary. The Elmwood riding existing from 1958 to 1969 was confined to the actual Elmwood area of the city of Winnipeg. In the redistribution in advance of the 1969 Manitoba general election, part of East Kildonan was added. Since 1981, the Elmwood riding has moved further north into East Kildonan, taking in much of the old Kildonan riding (existing between 1958 and 1981) while the eastern part of the Elmwood area has been removed and added to the Concordia riding created in 1981.

Elmwood is mostly working class and industrial. According to the 1999 Canadian census, manufacturing accounted for 18% of all industry in the riding. Thirty-one per cent of the riding's residents are listed as low-income. The average family income in Elmwood was $41,842, and the unemployment rate was 9.40%.

The riding has a significant immigrant population, including 9% of German background and 8% of Ukrainian background. Eighteen per cent of the riding's residents were over age 65.

The New Democratic Party of Manitoba (and its predecessor, the Manitoba Co-operative Commonwealth Federation) have won Elmwood in every provincial election since the riding's re-creation. In the 1988 general election, when the NDP fell from majority government to third-party status, Elmwood, along with adjoining Concordia, Logan, and St. Johns were the only four constituencies in Winnipeg to elect NDP MLAs.
